This dish is a great side for many main dishes – steak, chicken, pork, etc. Also, this dish can be tweaked for different flavor combinations. Today, I’ll write up the basic recipe… and in the Notes below I will discuss some of the options for additional flavor enhancements.

Sauteed Garlic Green Beans

Ingredients:

• 6 oz fresh green beans
• 1 clove garlic, slivered
• salt
• pepper
• 2 tsp olive oil

Preparation:

In a medium saute pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. When shimmering, add the green beans and toss to coat. Cook the green beans for about 5 minutes tossing them to keep them from burning. Add some salt and pepper to taste, tossing to distribute. Then add the garlic and toss to incorporate.

Continue tossing until the green beans are bright green but still crunchy and the garlic is fragrant.
